How Coca-Cola European Partners optimised soft drinks fixtures
Coca-Cola European Partners wanted to gain a deeper understanding of shoppers’ in-store experience and navigation in the aisle.
The challenge
In order to shape the future strategy of the soft drinks aisle in-store, Coca-Cola European Partners wanted to know the story behind their numbers.
The solution
Our experts uncovered pain points and barriers to purchasing, which led to identifying 4 key opportunities for growth within the category.
We then captured in-the-moment behaviour across retailers and regions to inform in-depth interviews and accompanied shopping trips. This allowed us to delve into the details of the current in-aisle experience as well as testing concepts for the future of the category.
Key results
- Channel specific findings have been instrumental in CCEP’s category vision and will contribute to discussions with retailers regarding in-store execution.
- Insights extended to aid other departments, such as their future-focused strategy around sustainability, health, merchandising and activation for a cohesive strategic direction.
- The insights were bought to life with shopper videos, which were very powerful in understanding the shopper mindset and journey in more detail to build a fuller story.
